Its actually an HP Deskjet 1051. Please don't truncate names of products, it causes confusion.

Yes, the HPLIP drivers which are in the default install will drive the printer. HP love linux and have great support for it.

I have an Epson WorkForce 520 All in one WiFi Printer. When I installed it and asked for a Test Page, the printer just spewed blank pages until I turned it off. Epson tells me it does not support Linux. Is there a way to make it work?
What type of Printer do you recommend for use with Ubuntu?
